LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

jeff Talley is the youngest officer
of which we have record in this state.
The American says he was born in
1886.
1t was expected to elect librarian
yesterday. There were only anout
sixty candidates for that office-all
ladies.
Senator Williamson and reprpsen.
tative Burnett, both of Gibson, took
the lead promptly in offering jDint
resolutions amending the constitution,
and providing for its submission to a
vote of the people, in favor of pr,hi.
bitiOn. Both gentlemen are carrying
out their pledges to the people, and
will be thanked therefor.
In addition to the newly.elected
officers mentioned on our editorial
page, we mention the following: Geo.
W. Griffin, of Ohion, was elected
assistant clerk of the senate, Miss
will Allen Dromgoole engrOssing
clerk, John P. Hickman, of David.
soE, sergeant at arms, and Caruthels
Ewing, of WeakIey, assistant ser.
gean at arms of the senate.
@. W. Crockett, of Stewart, was
elected assistant clerk of the house.
Mrs. Buchanan, Of Maury, was elec
ted engrossing clerk by a vote ot 81.
Miss Dance, of Gibson, receiving As
votes. Mr.. Doyle, of Dyer, was ap.
pointed journal clerk. j. D TaIley,
of Gibson, was eiectel sergeant Al
arms. W. NJ. Harkneader, of vii
son, was elected assistant sergeant al
arms.
Nashville American: Very few
ladies, in 81 short "a time have made
o favorable an impression as has Miss
Anna Dance, the young lady whc
was yester day defeated in the House
for engrossing clerk. She hore heI
defeat with tie air of a noble woman
aud in speaking Of i; pleasantly, auC
philosnphicdly remarked that sht
guessed everything was for the hest
as she WAS probably needed to tr',i
the hoys in the school room anyway
and train them up for Legislators
Nashville American: Senator
Williamson introduced resolution
yesterday providing for the holding
Of an election on the first THURSDAY
in August, 1887, on The adoption o
: the prohibition amendment, There
upon Senator MrDowelI rose and Oh
ipcted. The distinguished senato
had two reasons for OF jecting upOI
which he laid great stress. The frs
one was a matter Of courtesy to tn,
, House. which was not yet fully or
/ ganized, and the second was that tn
q Introduction of temperance resolution
was exclusively Senator McDcwelI'
business. ana that he desired 10 rul
s the thing to suit himself. The actiol
;. of Senator Williamson in bouncing II
r with a resolution of his own was re
garded hy the gentleman from Ohiol
as an imperlinent intermedling wit
d his private affairs. In all this tn
is able Senator is mistaken. He hq
= heen, no doubt, a sincere, earnest an
il enthusiastic advocate of temperate
and prohihiilon. hut he didn't pas
the prohibition resolution the frs
II time 5y himself, nor did he adopt th
II submission plank in the Democrat
II platform by himself. With all d"
q respect to the eminenCe which Sens
~ y, tor Mcdowell has reached 40 a TEN
Il perance advocate, we must insist tha
the passage OF the submission resolr
h ton is not the work of Senator Mt
J.. Dowel, hut of the General Assembly

If you sent a Christmas present to any
Of your friends through the mail with
any thing on the package except the
simple address, the chances are that it
will find its way to the Dead Letter
Office in Washington. Postmaster-Gen-
eral Villas instituted ruling that all
third and fourth class matter with any
thing but the simple address on the
package should have letter postage 1t
is foolish within of the Postmaster
General to make such ruling, and why
he did it no one is able to explain, ex-
cept that the liberty heretofore given

Death of Mrs. Ivah Compton.

Everything that was beautiful
and lovely in the person OF Mrs.
Compton (familiarly known as
Grandma Compton, is lost to her
relatives and friends forever. Her
spirit passed away to its maker at
Volo, ILL.,, on Monday evening
December 10Th 1887, at the ripe
age of 50 years, nine months and
Is days.
"She was born in Seneca Co., N.
Y, Feb. 10th 1898, and was the
mother of twelve children, seven
of whom survive her, to-wit:-
Jehiel and Richard, of Volo, H.,
Elisha, of Kansas, Mrs. Mary
Rogers, of Plover, H. H. and N.
L. Compton, of Grand Rapids,
and Mrs. Kate Townsend, the lat
ter being her constant and devoted
attendant for several years pre-
vious, and up to the time Of her
death. She also leaves thirty-siX
grand children and tWenty-nlne
great grand children.
Mrs. Compton emigrated from
New York state to Illinoise, with
her husband and family in the
year 1914, and resided there for
nineteen wears. Sometime after
her husbands death, in 1868, she
came to Grand Rapids, where she
has made it her home ever since,
although she frequently visited
with her children at Volo, ILL.,,
dividing her time between each OF
them"
She left Grand Rapids last fall
with her daughter, Mrs. Kate
Townsend, in the hope that the
change might improve her condi-
ton. Ever since her arrival at
McTIenry, H., she gradually grew
worse, suffering excruciating pain
until her death. In all her suffer
ing she was patient, and that ever
present cheerful disposition was
never overcome even unto the last
Those who have waited upon her
in years past never saw in any
person a more peaceful and salts
fed rest in the inevitable soon to
come
We remember we'll our last visit
with Grandma while she was stop
ping in the Bronson house She
was ready any time the Lord
wanted her. 1t was a pleasure for
her to live among friends and rela-
tives, but she realized her time
was not far distant when she
would have to cross the river
Her kind motherly talk to us then
will never be forgotten as it flowed
from fountain Of experience and
love. We cherish her last words
to us with that sacred tenderness
in which they we're given. Our
pen is unable to give justice to so
noble a life as that led in our
midst by Grandma Compton.
Her name when spoken always
carries reverence and respect with
it.
Her funeral took place at the
residence of her son in Illinois on
Thursday the ed inst. Messrs.
H. H. and n. L, Compton attend
ed from this city.
